Assailants entered the home shortly before 11pm (21:00 GMT) while the victims were gathered at a house party.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>Two people survived the attack, Ntuli said, adding the motive behind the killings was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incident has left the community in profound shock and grief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"\" aria-label=\"Locator map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-aJRvc\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/aJRvc\/2\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width:0;min-width:100% !important;border:none\" height=\"510\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Local broadcaster eNCA reported that the attackers forced everyone into a single room before opening fire. They also set fire to a car belonging to one of the victims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s shocking and sad. These are guys I grew up with. I can\u2019t believe it. It\u2019s like a movie,\u201d a resident told the broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been staying here all my life, and I\u2019ve never seen anything like this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to a police statement cited by eNCA, preliminary investigations indicated that some of those killed were on South Africa\u2019s Crime Intelligence radar over suspected illegal activities, though the statement did not elaborate further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the motive for the shooting has not yet been confirmed, a feud between rival groupings cannot be ruled out,\u201d the police said.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa has one of the world\u2019s highest murder rates, with an average of about 60 people killed daily in a population of roughly 62 million.<\/p>\n<p>In March, soldiers were deployed alongside national police to violent hotspots to tackle rampant crime, an issue President Cyril Ramaphosa has described as one of the country\u2019s biggest threats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br
